DOS ain't dead

Best library for new applications? (Developers)

What is the most recommend DOS library for graphical user interfaces for new applications? I prefer
- modern C++ according the standard
- Free Software
- nice addition if more then gui function is supported (other abstraction layers such as for sound)
- nice addition if I could simply switch the compiler and change target to win32/64 (without NTVDM dependence), if this isn't to utopistic

Irrelevant and useless. Apps might have bugs for reasons other than bad libs, or might work well in spite of bugs in libs, or might not use buggy parts of libs.

If you think there are bugs, the burden is on you to point to them, not on others to prove non-existence.
